I have been invited next year as a sculptor to show my work during the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2018. My beloved Triptych The Religion of Atheism will be installed in a Venetian/Gothic/Byzantine fifteen century Palazzo for 6 months in front of the Grand Canal. For the first time during the Biennale of Architecture a foundation has chosen 30 sculptors in the world to show their work near architects. I am enchanted to see that the bond between sculpture and architecture that disappeared for one hundred years is starting again.
